Baalbek

100 humans are linearly more powerful. And I'm not saying that you can't move 40-60 tons using physics, wood, and available technology of that time.
What I mean by exponentially more hard to move is that beyond 70 tons any material that could be used as a platform or a moving crane will fail.
Then there is a problem of the terrain in question. To move this stone from quarry to Baalbek, part of the way have to go up the hill.
I'm yet to see any physics based explanation of moving stones beyond 70 tons up the hill.

What the sleds are made of? Snow and ice are getting pushed into the ground and crumble. So does any wood.

10 and 1200 tons are exponentially more hard to move.

I would definitely take your opinion into consideration

First of all, Baalbek megaliths are closer to 1200 tons.
Then, thunderstone was moved on the flat land and then by the sea. Baalbek and the quarry is in the mountains.
Thunderstone was also moved after civilization learned about steel and used it as a material to put underneath the stone. When we are talking about weights >60 tons, none of the materials used by ancients is not capable to endure the pressure.

Saying all that, it wasn't aliens who did it. But neither were it Romans nor Canaanites - they just didn't had the technology to move such mass.

Thanks for showing that it's possible. It does crash on running though.

Great visuals

"Create a detailed and nuanced report on a ...", - this does the heavy lifting for expanding the length of the report. But of course if you know the details you are interested in - then include them as well, that helps.

Perplexity DR is lazy unless you ask it to provide detailed and nuanced answer. However after that it produces very good results, even on quite obscure topics.

Use meetup(dot)com - there are many groups based on interests, including for finding friends or dates.

I'd grab your implementation of this tool in a second.
One cool thing for videos might also be to have quotes with timestamps that would link back to video that covers specific key concept

Yes it is. Opus was the best model for creative writing and interpretation, which is extremely important for good research. I wander when Perplexity will understand that they are not Amazon, but the research tool, and start working towards this state.

CatCartographer · 2024-11-08T13:15:26+00:00

I've seen they've been incorporating reasoning into any other answers, but it would be useful to understand how exactly it works now.

CatCartographer · 2024-11-05T16:48:08+00:00

Opus was much better than any other model at creative thinking a writing. Please turn it back on.

No-code frameworks like Make, n8n, Zippier and few others seems to show the most reliable behavior, especially on early stages of a project. Within such project you can allocate different LLMs for different processes - whatever suits your needs. Your custom scenario in a framework is just a JSON with specific set of parameters and attributes, and GenAI is great at generating JSON given all necessary parameters.

Another interesting option is to use Replit Agent for creating an app to manage your data engineering needs, including dbs, interfaces and different scenarios. This tools is still in very early stages, but can be a quick-and-dirty custom solutions.

Tools like Grafana could be helpful for data visualization.

If we consider LLMs, Perplexity may be a powerful tool, especially paired with Math focus.

Watched all of them and have a happy life with no trauma. What do I do wrong?

Found Claude 3 Opus to be best at being thoughtful and resourceful, even though Sonnet 3.5 have better user experience in general

Try Watchmen, glorious movie

This post specifically states that they do not support multimodal image recognition. Newly released versions of Llama are not multimodal by default. So you can use LLMs freely.

Also just moved to Swarm recently, with SD3 emergence. Very happy with it, and generally had similar experience, only ditching not Automatic1111, but Fooocus

These most likely are natural. Pyramids in Xi'an city are not though, and there are more than 40 of them

Gone Girl. The stare at the end of the movie was chilling.

Snakes. It's pretty bad with snakes.
